The Daily Beast reports: The Gateway Pundit’s small role in Trump’s endeavor to weaponize the DOJ against the American electoral process underscores just how easily a discredited far-right media site established a pipeline to the decision-making of the then most powerful person on Earth.

From a post on the homocon site Gateway Pundit: Defenders of Black Lives Matter claim the organization is “spiritual.” No doubt about that. It’s spiritual, alright.

Demonologists warn us to never, ever say a demon’s name because …

Will Sommer reports at The Daily Beast: Herman Cain’s death, in theory, should have brought home the coronavirus’ seriousness to the hardcore Trump faithful who have refused to wear masks.
